Throughout 2008, it was evident that
the implementation of the Nairobi Declaration of November 2007 and the
Goma Agreements of January 2008 was more than problematic. Since the end
of August, violence has escalated once again on the ground. On 7th November
various diplomatic initiatives took form at a new Nairobi Summit, which
was organised with the support of the International Conference on the Great
Lakes Region (CIRGL).
